Being from the area Waltham is more desirable for business for a lot of the reasons Brin mentions in the article. It's cheaper than living/working in Cambridge and local ordinances have done well to make that a really desirable place to be. For Boston most of the startup tech industries linger most around the ring roads around Boston rather than in Boston properly like it seems SF/SV tends to be. It's also much more practical to attract talent that lives outside Boston and inside Boston in Waltham.
